Shall We Do Some Good?Flickr/Eric__I_E
The Marina has the Mr. Marina contest, which raises money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Should the Lower Haight have its own neighborhood cause?

Reader Kaila C. writes in with the suggestion that we pull together and do some good.
"The Mr. Marina competition is upon us. Although the competition makes me gag a little, I still get jealous that the Marina gets together as a neighborhood and contributes to a cause... I'm not sold on a Mr. Lower Haight competition being our neighborhood style. However, I could imagine something like a chili cook-off for charity."
What do you think, folks? Is there a cause that you think deserves our support? And what would a Lower Haight contest/fundraiser look like? Post your ideas in the comments, and we'll see where this thing goes...
